PART I — INTRODUCTION
SECTION A: GENERAL PERMIT COVERAGE
All persons desiring to have facilities covered by this General Permit must register with the Division
of Water Quality (DWQ) by the filing of a Notice of Intent (NOI) and applicable fees. The NOI shall be
submitted and a certificate of coverage issued prior to any point source discharge of stormwater
associated with industrial activity to the surface waters of the state.
Any owner or operator not wishing to be covered or limited by this General Permit may make
application for an individual NPDES permit in accordance with NPDES procedures in 1SA NCAC 2H
.010D, stating the reasons supporting the request. Any application for an individual permit should
be made at least 180 days prior to commencement of discharge.
This General Permit does not cover activities or discharges covered by an individual NPDES permit
until the individual permit has expired or has been revoked. Any person conducting an activity
covered by an individual permit but which could be covered by this General Permit may request
that the individual permit be revoked and coverage under this General Permit be provided.
If industrial materials and activities are not exposed to precipitation or runoff as described in 40
CFR §122.26(g), the facility may qualify for a No Exposure Exclusion from NPDES stormwater
discharge permit requirements. Any owner or operator wishing to obtain a No Exposure Exclusion
must submit a No Exposure Certification Notice of Intent (NOI) form to the Division; must receive
approval by the Division; must maintain no exposure conditions unless authorized to discharge
under a valid NPDES stormwater permit; and must recertify the No Exposure Exclusion annually.
Any facility may apply for new or continued coverage under this permit until a Total Maximum
Daily Load (TMDL) for pollutants for stormwater is established. A TMDL sets a pollutant -loading
limit that affects a watershed, or portion of a watershed, draining to a specific impaired water, For
discharges to watersheds affected by a TMDL, coverage under this permit may depend on the
facility demonstrating it does not have reasonable potential to violate applicable water
quality standards for those pollutants as a result of discharges. If DWQ determines that
discharges have reasonable potential to cause water quality standard violations, the facility shall
apply for an individual permit 180 days prior to the expiration date of this General Permit. Once
that individual permit is effective, the facility will no longer have coverage under this General
Permit. Note that the permittee must identify impaired waters (scheduled for TMDL development)
and waters already subject to a TMDL in the Site Plan, as outlined in the Stormwater Pollution
Prevention Plan, Part I1, Section A.
During the period beginning on the effective date of the permit and lasting until expiration, the
permittee is authorized to discharge stormwater associated with industrial activity. Such
discharges shall be controlled, limited and monitored as specified in this permit.
Part I Page 1 of 2

Permit No. NCG100000
SECTION B: PERMITTED ACTIVITIES
Until coverage under this permit expires or is modified or revoked, the permittee is authorized to
discharge stormwater to the surface waters of North Carolina, or to a separate storm sewer system,
which has been adequately treated and managed in accordance with the terms and conditions of
this General Permit.
Any other point source discharge to surface waters of the state is prohibited unless it is an
allowable non-stormwater discharge or is covered by another permit, authorization, or approval.
The discharges allowed by this General Permit shall not cause or contribute to violations of
Water Quality Standards.
This permit does not relieve the permittee's responsibility for compliance with any other applicable
federal, state, or local law, rule, standard, ordinance, order, or decree.

Permit No. NCG100000
PART II — MONITORING, CONTROLS, AND LIMITATIONS FOR PERMITTED
DISCHARGES
SECTION A: STORMWATER POLLUTION PREVENTION PLAN
The permittee shall develop and implement a Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SPPP). The
SPPP shall be maintained on site unless exempted from this requirement by the Division. The SPPP
is public information in accordance with Part 111, Standard Conditions, Section E, paragraph 3 of this
permit. The SPPP shall include, at a minimum, the following items:
Site Overview. The Site Overview shall provide a description of the physical facility and the'
potential pollutant sources that may be expected to contribute to contamination of stormwater
discharges. The Site Overview shall contain the following:
(a) A general location map (USGS quadrangle map or appropriately drafted equivalent map),
showing the facility's location in relation to transportation routes and surface waters; the
name of the receiving waters to which the stormwater outfalls discharge, or if the discharge
is to a municipal separate storm sewer system, the name of the municipality and the
ultimate receiving waters; and accurate latitude and longitude of the points of stormwater
discharge associated with industrial activity. The general location map (or alternatively the
site map) shall identify whether any receiving waters are impaired (on the state's 303(d)
list of impaired waters) or if the site is located in a watershed for which a TMDL has been
established, and what the parameters of concern are.
(b) A narrative description of storage practices, loading and unloading activities, outdoor
process areas, dust or particulate generating or control processes, and waste disposal
practices. A narrative description of the potential pollutants that could be expected to be
present in the stormwater discharge from each outfall.
(c) A site map drawn at a scale sufficient to clearly depict: the site property boundary; the
stormwater discharge outfalls; all on -site and adjacent surface waters and wetlands;
industrial activity areas (including storage of materials, disposal areas, process areas,
loading and unloading areas, and haul roads); site topography and finished grade; all
drainage features and structures; drainage area boundaries and total contributing area for
each outfall; direction of flow in each drainage area; industrial activities occurring in each
drainage area; buildings; stormwater Best Management Practices (BMPs); and impervious
surfaces. The site map must indicate the percentage of each drainage area that is
impervious, and the site map must include a graphic scale indication and north arrow.
(d) A list of significant spills or leaks of pollutants during the previous three (3) years and
any corrective actions taken to mitigate spill impacts.
(e) Certification that the stormwater outfalls have been evaluated for the presence of non-
stormwater discharges. The permittee shall re -certify annually that the stormwater
outfalls have been evaluated for the presence of non-stormwater discharges. The
certification statement will be signed in accordance with the requirements found in Part 111,
Standard Conditions, Section B, Paragraph 3.
Part 11 Page 1 of 10

Permit No. NCG100000
2. Stormwater Management Strategy. The Stormwater Management Strategy shall contain a
narrative description of the materials management practices employed which control or
minimize the stormwater exposure of significant materials, including structural and
nonstructural measures. The Stormwater Management Strategy, at a minimum, shall
incorporate the following:
(a) Feasibility Study. A review of the technical and economic feasibility of changing the
methods of operations and/or storage practices to eliminate or reduce exposure of
materials and processes to rainfall and run-on flows. Wherever practical, the permittee
shall prevent exposure of all storage areas, material handling operations, and
manufacturing or fueling operations. In areas where elimination of exposure is not
practical, this review shall document the feasibility of diverting the stormwater run-on
away from areas of potential contamination.
(b) Secondary Containment Requirements and Records. Secondary containment is
required for: bu k storage of liquid materials including petroleum products; storage in an
amount of Section 313 of Title III of the Superfund Amendments and Reauthorization Act
(SARA) water priority chemicals, and storage in any amount of hazardous substancesin
order to prevent leaks and spills from contaminating stormwater runoff. A table or
summary of all such tanks and stored materials and their associated secondary containment
areas shall be maintained. If the secondary containment devices are connected to
stormwater conveyance systems, the connection shall be controlled by manually activated
valves or other similar devices (which shall be secured closed with a locking mechanism).
Any stormwater that accumulates in the containment area shall be at a minimum visually
observed for color, foam, outfall staining, visible sheens and dry weather flow, prior to
release of the accumulated stormwater. Accumulated stormwater shall be released if found
to be uncontaminated by any material. Records documenting the individual making the
observation, the description of the accumulated stormwater, and the date and time of the
release shall be kept for a period of five (5) years. For facilities subject to a federal oil Spill
Prevention, Control, and Countermeasure Plan (SPCC), any portion of the SPCC plan fully
compliant with the requirements of this permit may be used to demonstrate compliance
with this permit.
(c) BMP Summary. A listing of site structural and non-structural Best Management Practices
(BMPs) shall be provided. The installation and implementation of BMPs shall be based on
the assessment of the potential for sources to contribute significant quantities of pollutants
to stormwater discharges and on data collected through monitoring of stormwater
discharges. The BMP Summary shall include a written record of the specific rationale for
installation and implementation of the selected site BMPs. The BMP Summary shall be
reviewed and updated annually.
3. Spill Prevention and Response Procedures. The Spill Prevention and Response Procedures
(SPRP) shall incorporate an assessment of potential pollutant sources based on a materials
inventory of the facility. Facility personnel responsible for implementing the SPRP shall be
identified in a written list incorporated into the SPRP and signed and dated by each individual
acknowledging their responsibilities for the plan. A responsible person shall be on -site at all
times during facility operations that have the potential to contaminate stormwater runoff
through spills or exposure of materials associated with the facility operations. The SPRP must
be site stormwater specific. Therefore, an oil Spill Prevention Control and Countermeasure
plan (SPCC) may be a component of the SPRP, but may not be sufficient to completely address
the stormwater aspects of the SPRP. The common elements of the SPCC with the SPRP may be
incorporated by reference into the SPRP.
Part 11 Page 2 of 10

Permit No. NCG100000
4. Preventative Maintenance and Good Housekeeping Program. A preventative maintenance
and good housekeeping program shall be developed and implemented. The program shall
address all stormwater control systems (if applicable), stormwater discharge outfalls, all on -site
and adjacent surface waters and wetlands, industrial activity areas (including material storage
areas, material handling areas, disposal areas, process areas, loading and unloading areas, and
haul roads), all drainage features and structures, and existing structural BMPs. The program
shall establish schedules of inspections, maintenance, and housekeeping activities of
stormwater control systems, as well as facility equipment, facility areas, and facility systems
that present a potential for stormwater exposure or stormwater pollution where not already
addressed under another element of the SPPP. Inspection of material handling areas and
regular cleaning schedules of these areas shall be incorporated into the program. Timely
compliance with the established schedules for inspections, maintenance, and housekeeping
shall be recorded and maintained in the SPPP.
Facility Inspections. Inspections of the facility and all stormwater systems shall occur as part
of the Preventative Maintenance and Good Housekeeping Program at a minimum on a semi-
annual schedule, once during the first half of the year (January to June), and once during the
second half (July to December), with at least 60 days separating inspection dates (unless
performed more frequently than semi-annually). These facility inspections are different from,
and in addition to, the stormwater discharge characteristic monitoring at the outfalls required
in Part H B, C, and D of this permit.
6. Employee Training. Training programs shall be developed and training provided at a
minimum on an annual basis for facility personnel with responsibilities for: spill response and
cleanup, preventative maintenance activities, and for any of the facility's operations that have
the potential to contaminate stormwater runoff. The facility personnel responsible for
implementing the training shall be identified, and their annual training shall be documented by
the signature of each employee trained.
7. Responsible Party. The SPPP shall identify a specific position or positions responsible for the
overall coordination, development, implementation, and revision of the SPPP. Responsibilities
for all components of the SPPP shall be documented and position assignments provided.
B. SPPP Amendment and Annual Update. The permittee shall amend the SPPP whenever there
is a change in design, construction, operation, site drainage, maintenance, or configuration of
the physical features which may have a significant effect on the potential for the discharge of
pollutants to surface waters. All aspects of the SPPP shall be reviewed and updated on an
annual basis. The annual update shall include:
(a) an updated list of significant spills or leaks of pollutants for the previous three (3)
years, or the notation that no spills have occurred (element of the Site Overview);
(b) a written re -certification that the stormwater outfalls have been evaluated for the
presence of non-stormwater discharges (element of the Site Overview);
(c) a documented re-evaluation of the effectiveness of the on -site stormwater HMPs
(BMP Summary element of the Stormwater Management Strategy).
(d) a review and comparison of sample analytical data to benchmark values (if
applicable) over the past year, including a discussion about Tiered Response status.
The permittee shall use the Division's Annual Summary Data Monitoring Report
(DMR) form, available from the Stormwater Permitting Unit's website (See
'Monitoring Forms' here: http:/Jportal.ncdenr.org/web/wgfws/sulnpdessw).
Part i! Page 3 of 10

Permit No. NCG100000
The Director may notify the permittee when the SPPP does not meet one or more of the
minimum requirements of the permit. Within 30 days of such notice, the permittee shall submit
a time schedule to the Director for modifying the SPPP to meet minimum requirements. The
permittee shall provide certification in writing (in accordance with Part I11, Standard
Conditions, Section B, Paragraph 3) to the Director that the changes have been made.
SPPP Implementation. The permittee shall implement the Stormwater Pollution Prevention
Plan and all appropriate BMPs to prevent contaminants from entering surface waters via
stormwater. Implementation of the SPPP shall include documentation of all monitoring,
measurements, inspections, maintenance activities, and training provided to employees,
including the log of the sampling data and of actions taken to implement BMPs associated with
the industrial activities, including vehicle maintenance activities. Such documentation shall be
kept on -site for a period of five (5) years and made available to the Director or the Director's
authorized representative immediately upon request.
10. Solvent Management Plan. Facilities that implement a Solvent Management Plan may so
certify, and the requirement for Total Toxic Organics (TTO) monitoring in Part II, Section B.
may be waived. The Solvent Management Plan shall include:
(a) an annually updated and quantified inventory of the total toxic organic compounds
present on site during the previous three years;
(b) a narrative description of the in -plant locations and uses of the toxic organic
compounds, the method of disposal including quantities disposed on- and off -site;
(c) the management procedures and engineering measures for assuring that toxic
organics do not spill or leak into stormwater.
DWQ may at its discretion require submittal, review, and approval of the Solvent Management
Plan as a condition of continuing the TTO sampling waiver. For those facilities electing to
employ the TTO sampling waiver, the permittee shall include the following signed certification
statement on each discharge monitoring report: "Based upon my inquiry of the person or persons
directly responsible for managing compliance with the permit monitoring requirement for total
toxic organics (TTO), 1 certify that to the best of my knowledge and belief, no leak, spill, or
dumping of concentrated toxic organics into the stormwater or onto areas which are exposed to
rainfall or storm water runoff has occurred since f ling the last discharge monitoring report. I
further certify that this facility is implementing all the provisions of the Solvent Management Plan
included in the Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan."

Permit No. NCG100000
SECTION B: ANALYTICAL MONITORING REQUIREMENTS
Analytical monitoring of stormwater discharges shall be performed as specified in Table 1. All
analytical monitoring shall be performed during a measureable storm event at each stormwater
discharge outfall (SDO). Only SDOs discharging stormwater associated with industrial activity must
be sampled (See Definitions).
A measurable storm event is a storm event that results in an actual discharge from the
permitted site outfall. The previous measurable storm event must have been at least 72 hours
prior. The 72-hour storm interval does not apply if the permittee is able to document that a shorter
interval is representative for local storm events during the sampling period, and the permittee
obtains approval from the local DWQ Regional Office. See Definitions.

3 Sample Location: Samples shall be collected at each stormwater discharge outfall (SDO) unless
representative outfall status (ROS) has been granted. A copy of the letter granting ROS shall be kept on site.
DWQ's ROS letter remains in effect through subsequent reissuance of this permit and as long as the pert-
inent site conditions and operations remain unchanged, unless the ROS letter provides for other conditions
or duration.
4 For purposes of this permit, the list of Total Toxic Organics is that list as stated in Appendix D, Table 11 of
Chapter 40 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Part 122. Facilities that implement a Solvent Management
Plan may so certify, and the requirement for TTO monitoring maybe waived. The Solvent Management
Plan shall be incorporated as a separate chapter into the Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (See Part I1,
Section A. 10.).
5 For each sampled measureable storm event, the total precipitation must be recorded. An on -site rain gauge
or local rain gauge reading must be recorded. Where isolated sites are unmanned for extended periods of
time, a local rain gauge reading may be substituted for an on -site reading.
The permittee shall complete the analytical samplings in accordance with the schedule specified
below in Table 2, unless adverse weather conditions prevent sample collection (see Adverse
Weather in Definitions). A minimum of 60 days must separate Period 1 and Period 2 sample
dates, unless monthly monitoring has been instituted as part of other requirements of this permit.
Inability to sample because of adverse weather conditions must be documented in the SPPP and
recorded on the DMR. The permittee must report the results from each sample taken within the
monitoring period [see Part III, Section E). Sampling is not required outside of the facility's normal
operating hours.

Footnotes:
1 Maintain semi-annual analytical monitoring throughout the permit renewal process (unless other
provisions of this permit prompt monthly sampling).
2 If no discharge occurs during the sampling period, the permittee must submit a monitoring report
indicating "No F1oW or "No Discharge" within 30 days of the end of the sampling period.
Failure to monitor semi-annually per permit terms may result in the Division requiring monthly
monitoring for all parameters for a specified time period. "No discharge" from an outfall or
inability to collect a sample because of adverse weather conditions during a monitoring period, for
example, does not constitute failure to monitor, as long as it is properly reported.
The permittee shall compare monitoring results to the benchmark values in Table 3. The benchmark
values in Table 3 are not permit limits but should be used as guidelines for the permittee's Stormwater
Pollution Prevention Plan (SPPP). Exceedances of benchmark values require the permittee to increase
monitoring, increase management actions, increase record keeping, and/or install stormwater Best
Management Practices (BMPs) in a tiered program. See below the descriptions of Tier One, Tier Two,
and Tier Three response actions below. In the event that the Division releases the permittee from
continued monthly monitoring under Tier Three, DWQ's release letter remains in effect through
subsequent reissuance of this permit, unless the release letter provides for other conditions or
duration.

Tier One.
If: The first valid sampling results are above a benchmark value, or outside of the benchmark range, for any
eter at any o
Then: The permittee shall:
1. Conduct a stormwater management inspection of the facility within two weeks of receiving sampling
results.
2. Identify and evaluate possible causes of the benchmark value exceedance.
3. Identify potential and select the specific: source controls, operational controls, or physical
improvements to reduce concentrations of the parameters of concern, and/or to bring concentrations
within the benchmark range.
4. Implement the selected actions within two months of the inspection.
S. Record each instance of a Tier One response in the SPPP. Include the date and value of the benchmark
exceedence, the inspection date, the personnel conducting the inspection, the selected actions, and the
date the selected actions were implemented.
If: During the term of this permit, the first valid sampling results from two consecutive monitoring periods are
above the benchmark values, or outside of the benchmark range, for any specific parameter at a specific
discharge outfall;
Then: The permittee shall:
1. Repeat all the required actions outlined above in Tier One.
2. Immediately institute monthly monitoring for all parameters. The permittee shall conduct monthly
monitoring at every outfall where a sampling result exceeded the benchmark value for two consecutive
samples. Monthly (analytical and qualitative) monitoring shall continue until three consecutive sample
results are below the benchmark values or within benchmark range.
3. If no discharge occurs during the sampling period, the permittee is required to submit a monthly
monitoring report indicating "No Flow" to comply with reporting requirements.
4. Benchmark exceedances for a different parameter separately trigger a tiered response.
5. Maintain a record of the Tier Two response in the SPPP.
Tier Three
During the term of this permit, if the valid sampling results required for the permit monitoring periods
exceed the benchmark value, or are outside the benchmark range, for any specific parameter at any specific
outfall on four occasions, the permittee shall notify the DWQ Regional Office Supervisor in writing within
30 days of receipt of the fourth analytical results. The Division may but is not limited to:
• require that the permittee revise, increase, or decrease monitoring frequency for some or all
parameters;
• rescind coverage under the General Permit, and require that the permittee apply for an individual
stormwater discharge permit;
• require the permittee to install structural stormwater controls;
• require the permittee to implement other stormwater control measures;
• require the permittee to perform upstream and downstream monitoring to characterize impacts on
receiving waters; or
• require the permittee implement site modifications to qualify for a No Exposure Exclusion.

SECTION C: STORMWATER DISCHARGES: ON -SITE VEHICLE AND EQUIPMENT
MAINTENANCE MONITORING REQUIREMENTS
See Section B. above for analytical monitoring requirements.
SECTION D: STORMWATER DISCHARGES: QUALITATIVE MONITORING
REQUIREMENTS
The purpose of qualitative monitoring is to evaluate the effectiveness of the Stormwater Pollution
Prevention Plan [SPPP) and assess new sources of stormwater pollution. Qualitative monitoring of
stormwater outfalls must be performed during a measurable storm event.
Qualitative monitoring requires a visual inspection of each stormwater outfall regardless of
representative outfall status. Qualitative monitoring shall be performed semi-annually as specified
in Table b, and during required analytical monitoring events (unless the permittee is required to
perform further qualitative sampling per the Qualitative Monitoring Response, below). Inability
to sample because of adverse weather conditions must be documented in the SPPP and recorded on
the DMR (see Adverse Weather in Definitions). Only SDOs discharging stormwater associated with
industrial activity must be monitored (See Definitions).
In the event an atypical condition is noted at a stormwater discharge outfall, the permittee shall
document the suspected cause of the condition and any actions taken in response to the discovery.
This documentation will be maintained with the SPPP.

Part 11 Page 9 of 10

Permit No. NCG100000
A minimum of 60 days must separate monitoring dates, unless additional sampling has been
instituted as part of other analytical monitoring requirements in this permit.
If the permittee's qualitative monitoring indicates that existing stormwater BMPs are ineffective, or that
significant stormwater contamination is present, the permittee shall investigate potential causes, evaluate
the feasibility of corrective actions, and implement those corrective actions within 60 days, per the
Qualitative Monitoring Response, below. A written record of the permittee's investigation, evaluation,
and response actions shall be kept in the Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan.
Qualitative Monitoring.Response
Qualitative monitoring is for the purposes of evaluating SPPP effectiveness, assessing new sources

Amended, and Regulation 40 CFR 136.
To meet the intent of the monitoring required by this general permit, all test procedures must
produce minimum detection and reporting levels and all data generated must be reported down to
the minimum detection or lower reporting level of the procedure. If no approved methods are
determined capable of achieving minimum detection and reporting levels below general permit
discharge requirements, then the most sensitive (method with the lowest possible detection and
reporting level) approved method must be used.
Representative Outfall
If a facility has multiple discharge locations with substantially identical stormwater discharges that
are required to be sampled, the permittee may petition the Director for representative outfall status.
If it is established that the stormwater discharges are substantially identical and the permittee is
granted representative outfall status, then sampling requirements may be performed at a reduced
number of outfalls.
Records Retention
Qualitative monitoring shall be documented and records maintained at the facility along with the
Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SPPP). Copies of analytical monitoring results shall also be
maintained on -site. The permittee shall retain records of all monitoring information, including
o all calibration and maintenance records,
o all original strip chart recordings for continuous monitoring instrumentation,
o copies of all reports required by this general permit,
o copies of all data used to complete the Notice of Intent to be covered by this general permit.
These records or copies shall be maintained for a period of at least 5 years from the date of the
sample, measurement, report or Notice of Intent application. This period may be extended by
request of the Director at any time [40 CFR 122.41]. If this volume of records cannot be maintained

To Whom It May Concern,
This letter is in response to your letter mailed on November 17, 2015 and
received and opened on the week of Thanksgiving. I was not present on the day
Glen White inspected White's Service Station & Garage. My brother, Dean White
happened to be here, but he is not a co-owner and not an employee of White's.
He is my brother and was merely here when Glen White came.
r
The storm water prevention plan has been in place. The plan is kept at my
house which is 200 ft from the shop because of the amount of dust in the shop.
The previous inspectors have allowed that so it keeps the plan and paperwork
clean. If that is not an acceptable practice for you, please let me know and I will
try to figure out a better way to store the plan at the shop.
Biota Diagnostic will be performing the bi-annual analysis of the
stormwater for this 2nd period of testing in 2015. The contact info is Keith
Hambright 704-992-0737.
Attached is the letter I received and a copy of the outfall locations.
I hate I missed Glenn for his inspection. I hope this clears everything up and
I want to help keep White's in compliance and good standing with you. Thank you
for your time and understanding.
Sincerely,
Donnie D. White

In response to your renewal application for continued coverage under stormwater General Permit NCG100000
the Division of Water Quality (DWQ) is forwarding herewith the reissued General Permit. This permit is
reissued pursuant to the requirements of North Carolina General Statute 143-215.1 and the Memorandum of
Agreement between the state of North Carolina and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, dated October
15, 2007 (or as subsequently amended).
The following information is included with your permit package:
• A new Certificate of Coverage (CDC)
• A copy of General Permit NCG100000
• A copy of the Technical Bulletin for the General Permit
• Two copies of the Discharge Monitoring Report (DMR) Form
• Two copies of the Qualitative Monitoring Report Form
The General Permit authorizes discharges of stormwater, and it specifies your obligations for discharge
controls, management, monitoring, and record keeping. Please review the new permit to familiarize yourself
with all the changes in the reissued permit. Your facility has six (6) months from the time of receipt of the
permit to update your current SPPP to reflect all new permit requirements.
The first sample period of your permit begins January 1, 2013. Your facility must sample a "measureable
storm event" beginning during the periods beginning January 1 and July 1 of every year (or, if applicable,
report "No Flow," as outlined in Part III, Section E). Also, please note that Tier 3 Actions in Part II of your
permit are triggered by benchmark exceedances on four occasions beginning on the effective date of this
permit and do not count prior exceedances.
The more significant changes in the General Permit since your last CDC was issued are noted either in the
Draft Permit Fact Sheet that accompanied the public notice (htip:/-/portal.ncdenr.org/web/wq/ws/suL(urrent-
notices), or in the Response to Comments / Summary of Changes and Technical Bulletin documents that are

Some of the changes include:
Part II:
• Section A: The Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SPPP) section, if applicable, has been updated
to the most current language of our permits. Additional conditions for specific industry sectors have
been added to the SPPP requirements in some cases.
• Sections B, C: Failure to perform analytical stormwater monitoring may result in the Division requiring
that the permittee begin a monthly sampling scheme.
• Sections B, C: A lower TSS benchmark of 50 mg/I for HOW, ORW, PNA and Tr Waters applies to these
more sensitive waters.
• Sections B, C. The monitoring parameter Oil & Grease (O&G) has been replaced by the parameter
Total Petroleum Hydrocarbons (TPH) for vehicle maintenance areas, and in some cases, other
analytical monitoring requirements.
• Sections B, C, D: Inability to sample due to adverse weather must be recorded in the SPPP, or in
separate on -site records if your General Permit does not require an SPPP. Adverse weather is defined
in the "Definitions" section of the permit.
• Sections B, C: The term "Representative Storm Event" has been replaced by "Measurable Storm
Event." A measurable storm event is defined in the permit.
• Section D: If the permittee fails to respond effectively to problems identified by qualitative
monitoring, DWQ may -require the permittee to perform corrective action.
Please review Parts III and IV to understand the Standard Conditions of your new NPDES General Permit,
including Compliance and Liability, Reporting, Monitoring and Records requirements; Operation and
Maintenance obligations; and Definitions. Please note that all samples analyzed in accordance with the terms
of this permit must be submitted to the Division on Discharge Monitoring Report (DMR) forms available on
the Stormwater Permitting Unit's website above. DMR forms must be delivered to the Division no later than
30 days from the date the facility receives the sampling results from the laboratory. Also note that existing
permittees do not need to submit a renewal request prior to expiration unless directed by the Division.
Your coverage under the General Permit is transferable only through the specific action of DWQ. This permit
does not affect the legal requirements to obtain other permits which may be required by DENR, nor does it
relieve the permittee from responsibility for compliance with any other applicable federal, state, or local law,
rule, standard, ordinance, order, judgment, or decree. If you have any questions regarding this permit
package, please contact the Division's Stormwater Permitting Unit at [phone].

services of an environmental consultant to help you develop a SP3 for the site to help ensure the
resulting product meets all of the permit requirements.
4. Analytical monitoring has not been accomplished as required. You stated that some qualitative
monitoring has been accomplished but not recorded. You must perform both analytical and
qualitative monitoring as required in Part Il of the general permit.
Site Review
5. The site was not atypical as far as auto salvage yards are concerned. The site covers a very
large area of land that appears to contain a large number of separate drainage areas and

stormwater discharge outfalls (SDO). The site was not evaluated in its entirety during the
inspection in part because the drainage areas and SDOs have yet to be identified.
6. The permit was originally issued in May of 2003, so it appears that the site has continued
operation for six years without complying with the requirements of the general permit. This must
be remedied as quickly as possible. You are reminded that violations of the NCG100000 general
permit are subject to civil penalty assessments not to exceed $25,000 per day, per violation.
Please reply to this letter in writing within 30 days of receiving it. Your reply should include
corrective actions, with implementation schedules, for each of the major violations noted above in
paragraphs 3 through 5.
7. Attached is a copy of the general permit, along with a blank monitoring form and a technical
bulletin that explains the purpose of the permit. Please review the permit in its entirety at your
earliest opportunity to ensure you fully understand all of its requirements. There is also a SP3 tool
and example forms available at the following website, which may prove useful in helping you to
develop your SP3.
